Sonoran Beaver Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 The colors look Vitro to me but I’m not familiar with this pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Vitro for me, "Veneered" is the base glass opalescent when backlit ?? If yes an opal patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 It's Vitro and it does have colors found on many Opals, so if the base is opalescent, I am all in with Chad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoran Beaver Posted February 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Thanks guys! This is my attempt at capturing a picture with back lighting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 It looks like it might be. Sometimes too much light will "wash out" the opalescence. What you're looking for is a a bit of an orange-ish glow. I'll see if I can post some examples in a while. I am away from my files at the moment.

Chad G. Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Opals are just what the name implies, when you hold them up to the light the glass has a very opalescent color to it. I have no pics of my opals but will take some tonight. Like Ric said it only takes a little light to see it. You don't need a bright maglite, just dim lamplight will do, I got my fingers crossed for ya. Here's a pic of one from my friend Terry, you can see the opalescence shining through right at the bottom of the mib I have one exactly like this one, same colors and everything, you can see the opalescence a little easier in this one, when you shine a light directly onto it it looks white "corn flower" colored as Ron said.

wvrons Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Vitro Opal, some call this color the Vitro corn flower opal. The Vitro Opals come in different color combinations. All have the transparent opal base. Most have the swirl pattern, some are more straight ribbon pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Yeah, I'd say there is little doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
